Students often struggle with the academic demands of college. Traditional resources to help students usually focus on tutoring for content, improving time management, and reducing stress. My approach is to help students become better learners. Research shows that instruction about how to learn and think about the content is just as important for student success as the content itself.  This session will discuss general principles of how people learn and focus on general principles of optimizing learning effectiveness such as productive persistence, self-regulated learning, and metacognition. Beyond college, knowing how to learn is an important life skill for success.
